>> it is one of the biggest supreme court rulings in decades. the healthcare ruling is not just moments away. live team coverage coming up. >> and a young man gunned down in a san francisco neighborhood overnight. why police were back out here at the scene of the crime just a short time ago. >> the mayor of san francisco considering a controversial crime-fighting plan, one that

has led to protests and other american cities. >> the sheriff is ready to testify. the new developments ahead of this evening's crucial city hall hearing. mornings on two starts now. >> complete bay area news coverage starts right now. this is ktvu mornings. >> good morning. >> i'm tori campbell. it is thursday, june 28. happening right now, the supreme court scheduled to hand down its ruling on president obama's healthcare reform law any minute now. here's a live picture of the supreme court building right now. people for and against the healthcare reform are gathered outside waiting for the decision. the healthcare ruling is one of the most highly anticipated decisions from the court in years. we have team coverage this morning. allison is one of the ladies in

front. first, let's go to claudine wong. >> everyone watching and waiting. no cameras allowed inside the courtroom this morning. among the hundred or so people in the courtroom, our reporters writing down everything said inside. we are expecting to hear from them in just minutes. let's take you outside for a look at all the activity. we showed you that shot of the courthouse. there it is. when you see that crowd of people, they are all waiting. of course, this decision will affect the lives of millions of americans. at issue at this point, is can congress require americans to buy healthcare or penalize them? there is a lot of different ways this could go down. one group told usa today that they are prepared for press releases based on potential court rulings. the president has said he will be speaking although we don't know when. we also expect to hear from john boehner. so how many different ways could this go down? police apprising would be that the supreme court could punt and

say it won't go into effect until 2014. so we would just wait until the end. legal analysts say the supreme court is likely to take some sort of position. the question is, will it let the entire law stand? will it strike it down? if they strike it down, will it be to part of that hour all that? we talked to amanda's morning and he said he didn't even try to guess. >> i can't read the court at all. especially with a couple of the last decisions. they surprised me. >> of course, as we are all on standby, the justices are inside the courtroom. hundreds are sitting in their seats as we have said with a crew at the courthouse. we are monitoring developments from our newsroom. as it is we afford, we will in no. again, it should be any minute now. let's go back to tori. >> thank you. a controversial claim friday -- crime-fighting plan may be

coming to san francisco. it's called stop and rest. it's led to demonstrations in new york and several other cities. it allows police officers to search people they consider suspicious. the mayor believes the stock and frist could be enough rest -- could be effectively to seize illegal weapons. however, civil rights have denounced it as a racist crime-fighting plan which unfairly targets african-americans and latinos. >> a 7:03. san francisco police searching for gunmen who shot and killed a man overnight. it happened in the ingleside neighborhood. that's where alex savage is now. tell us what neighbors her just hours ago. >> reporter: and neighbors in this area heard gunfire early this morning. that's why the police, obviously, showed up at the street corner. that is where they found the body of a man lying on the street where you can see a tarp leftover from this crime scene. we are at the intersection of

house and mount vernon. just within the past half-hour, homicide detectives were at the scene canvassing the area looking for potential witnesses to this kind. the 911 calls came in around 9:20 this morning. a neighbor about the way reported hearing a series of gunshots. first responders showed up and declared this man dead at the scene with at least one gunshot wound. san francisco police tell me this was a 25-year-old man shot to death. the motive is still unclear for the shooting. we did talk with a neighbor in short time ago on her way to school this morning, and she says this homicide has left her rattled. he meant it makes me want to try to find a ride home from work, that's for sure. i don't know. it's really scary and disturbing. >> homicide investigators out here at the scene were able to collect several pieces of evidence, including a number of showcasing fluffed on the ground. the young man killed has been identified, according to police, but his name is not yet being released at this point.

police tell me they have scarce information to go on. that sort of the same story we got from the homicide investigators that were out here a short time ago. but this point, no description on a shooter in this case. live in san francisco, alex savage, ktvu. >> 7:05. a fatal overnight crash in san jose. it was a solo car crash happened around 11:30 last night. investigators say the driver was racing onto the freeway when his car veered off the road and flipped several times. the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. no one else was hurt. this caused major traffic problems for several hours. sacramento county sheriff's department wants your help. they are trained to find a 19-year-old uc davis student. deputies say she was last seen tuesday at a sacramento area business. her father says his daughter recently had a nervous breakdown during finals. here's a picture. if you have any information

about where she is, contact the sheriff's department. >> 7:06. governor brown signed a budget that he says reflects tough choices that will help put california back on track. the governor's office says the budget closes a $15.7 billion deficit, but it relies on voters approving his proposed tax hikes in november, which would temporarily increase the state sales tax by a quarter cent. it would also raise income taxes on californians who make more than $250,000 a year. the governor says the budget will increase education funding by 14 percent for k-12 and community colleges if his tax plan passes. if it fails, there will be $6 billion in cuts -- and her cuts in education and social services. the budget also cuts state employee compensation costs by 5 percent for a savings of 800 million.

it implements a welfare reform and other changes to health care insurance for low income children. we want to give you an update. we've got one minor ruling from the supreme court. we were expecting they were expected to make two rulings today, in addition to the ruling on healthcare. the supreme court has thrown out a law making it a crime to lie about receiving military honors. there's another ruling expected about kickbacks in real estate. those two rulings expected to be issued before we get to the big decision on healthcare. we are monitoring this very will bring you the very latest. >> all right. 7:08. sal is monitoring the commute. you're watching these sure. >> we are looking at 80, which is one of the busiest commutes on 80 westbound. we'll see traffic getting busier in berkeley heading out to the macarthur maze. also busy in richmond as well. the morning commute is also going to be a little bit slow at the bay bridge, but it hasn't been that

bad today. it's backup for maybe a 10 minute delay. nothing major just yet getting into the city. and if you're driving in the santa clara valley north am 101, it's the busiest now. we do have slow traffic this morning on northbound 101 near the airport. there's just been a report of 280 crash. let's go to see. >> a little bit more cloudiness today. also a little stronger see breeze. cooler coasts and day and probably inland as well. a little cold front beginning to inch closer. that's going to pick up the fog. it's actually from the coast and the san mateo coast. more sunshine north of that and south of that. it's a sign of things to come. a westerly breeze but the fog has definitely regroup here. tomorrow there will be even more fog. let's go to the nursery now. >> thank you, steve. breaking news. the supreme court ruling we

been waiting for. we've been hearing the supreme court has struck down the individual mandates that could of the affordable health care act. it will do constitutional, but the supreme court has upheld most of the law that requires americans to have health insurance. that's what was was -- what was expected. this was the most likely scenario that it would uphold part of the law but straight down the individual mandate. that was the most controversial part of the law that required most of the individuals to purchase health insurance. opponents say the government is overreaching by mandating people purchase a product from a private company. this was, again, the most controversial part. you are looking live at pictures outside the u.s. supreme court. you're hearing a mixed reaction. there are some shares. there were many people opposed to that part of the plan, but the individual mandate, again, struck down.

the court has decided to uphold the part of the requirement that most americans have health insurance, but that puts health insurance in a bit of a bind because they are now required to cover people but there is not necessarily a way to pay for it because the individual mandate requiring people to pay for health insurance is not considered constitutional. this could mean potentially a huge rise in premiums for health insurance. >> very interesting. it will be interesting how the insurance companies respond. this is all breaking news at 7:11 on this thursday morning. we are still waiting for more details to come out about how the supreme court has just ruled. we will have an analysis and a supreme court expert. plus, find out why so much is at stake for california as this decision comes in. >> just coming down. more on that. also, we will update the search for stories at the port of newark overnight.

>> we really wish we had a camera in the court so we could be figuring this all out. right now we are relying on this blog. this is the only blog from inside the court. we have a health policy and honest wisdom with us all morning. we are following that now. he is trying to help us understand the first breaking news from

cnn this morning was that the individual mandate has been struck down, but it's really not so clear. >> it's still complicated right now, but it appears that the court has upheld the individual date not as a mandate and not as part of the interstate commerce clause which what everyone thought was the governing part of the constitution. they said that the individual mandate is a tax. under the taxing power of the federal government, the federal government can impose a tax on people who didn't write health insurance. therefore, it looks like they are upholding the individual mandate. the rest of the issues and things like that don't apply. obama care has been upheld by the court. >> well we are talking here, i get to a live look outside the supreme court. there has been a flurry of reaction, a lot of people chanting on both sides of the issues. we've heard a few cheers. probably when some of the news has started to leak out. are we getting anything new

here? it's saying that it looks like chief justice john roberts sided with a site he perhaps wasn't going to. >> it appears that some people thought he would try to write a narrow opinion. if, as it appears to be, that this was upheld under the taxing power, not the interstate commerce clause, that's a way to split the difference. to uphold obamacare and at the same time not give government more power to regulate people's lives. it appears that they've split the difference. >> we are certainly happy to have you here helping us understand. we will try to sort this out for you and have more here this morning on ktvu. >> thank you, allison. 7:16. joining us now is the constitutional supreme court expert, david levine. thank you for being here on such short notice. at what are your thoughts on the ruling clique's. >> well, it's very interesting because, of course, all the prognostications -- earlier it

was that healthcare was dead. now the mandate is a wife. but in an unusual way. there were two main arguments. the first argument was a question of whether under the interstate commerce power whether congress had the power to force you to buy health insurance. the supreme court said you couldn't, that's not proper. there's a difference between forcing somebody to do something rather than regulating something they were already doing. the supreme court did accept the idea that that was unconstitutional, but what the supreme court did do is they accepted another argument. the other argument was that what congress did was to impose a tax for not having healthcare. in effect, it is pay or play. either you have insurance or you pay for the fact that you don't have insurance, which the majority of the supreme court has accepted that argument. so by nudging you, by saying you don't have to do this but if

you fail to buy insurance, you are going to be taxed, in effect, we are in the same place. it's at the core of the mandate for health care being accepted and now in 2014 that's going into affect, but we call it a tax rather than call it an exercise of interstate commerce power. >> i know you are waiting to decipher how the individual justices voted. that is of interest here. >> it's always of interest. whether we see any breaks from the familiar split of the conservatives and liberals and what we do know at this point is that chief justice roberts who normally votes with the right accepted the argument that this could be taxed. there was some thinking that he might go that way to create a broader majority for whatever the result was, but his questioning at the u.s. supreme court was so skeptical that i think a lot of people thought he wasn't going to accept any of those arguments. the issue is that sometimes what happens is that the supreme

court justices in the oral argument are testing out ideas. they are pushing the advocates to see how they can answer the weaker parts of the argument. the questions are always indicate which way the justices are going. here's an example where that's true. >> that was a case where there was a lot of skepticism after the initial questioning. what is the far-reaching impact of this? obviously, this is a huge impact for millions of americans. what does it say about the difference of powers between the two branches of government? >> the interesting thing will be parts of the commerce club. what that is about more broadly as the power of congress to regulate all sorts of parts of the economy. if what that signals is some sort of a change going back to 1942, there's been some skepticism on the right. there's a book issued expressing some skepticism about those opinions. if what we have is a majority

saying congress' power circumscribed on that size of things, that will be changing some things. maybe there is a rollback on that side. on the other hand, if the taxing power can be used, then as long as you can get a majority for horror of horrors, then congress' power won't be changed that much. >> just a quick question. i know we are focused on the supreme court and how the legislators will do things. there are a lot of people saying, wait a minute. how much money is this going to cost me my family? >> it's going to affect people so differently. if you have insurance through your employer, then in all probability there's going to be no change. now, there might be some changes where, for example, some employers -- let's take my friend that the dentist. he's got a small business. if he were to decide, well, it's cheaper for me to pay those taxes than to pay health insurance. we might have this effect that

some people will lose insurance. i hope that doesn't happen. rather, it will go in the other direction. what will happen is that the hopes of the economists will build this. in fact, health care costs will go down from this. that's the hope that they will actually go down and people will start having insurance exchange is available. it's going to be very complicated. the reason why everyone said it's a 2000 page bill, it's because it's extremely complicated. it is one sixth of the economy. we are going to start moving in a different direction because of this. we haven't seen very much yet. we've only seen a couple goodies. my daughter is on my policy now strictly because of a change. in 2014, we are going to see some big changes. families will have to make this decision. all of a sudden, insurance exchanges will be available. there will be some subsidies for that health insurance. so we are going to move in the direction of many more people being covered.

but it's going to take a while. this was a slow rollout. it will be a few years. all of us assume there is no major change in congress next year. we've got a long way to go before we really see change. in the next two years it will start rolling out and we will see change. but a lot of people are going to be insured who weren't insured before. there's a very big day for people all over the country. >> 30 million uninsured americans impacted by this. uc hastings to best -- professor. thank you. you will join us again next hour. thank you so much. once again, the supreme court has upheld the individual insurance requirement at the heart of president obama's health care overhaul. you can go to ktvu.com for more information on the supreme court healthcare ruling. just go to the health care tab on the front page. much more coming up. >> time now is 7:22. new developments this morning.

a story we first told you about yesterday. the search for stolen is on a container ship on the border of newark has not turned up anybody. the search started yesterday after the coast guard for banging noises coming from a sealed container on that ship. they examined hundreds of containers overnight but they found no one. >> so we've got our decision on health care, but another big question. will you need a jacket today? explain what areas will see slight -- -- will be slightly cooler. >> also, find out what caused the windows 2 break at-bat skyscraper. >> news chopper 2, highway 92 at 101. you can see traffic is a little busy heading south. we will tell you more about the morning commute and that they weather straight ahead.

i remember seeing a theme recently and wondering, that's close to the building. we'll have to see. >> time now is 7:26. you are following the commute. i know you've got a chopper working. >> we are looking at highway 101 at 92. a pretty busy intersection here. you see north am 11 trackback in the area is busy. south on 101 heading away from san mateo toward palo alto pretty slow. also this morning, looking north or south bound 880. this traffic looks pretty good. in the south data traffic continues to move along pretty well. there's a crash in cupertino northbound 85 at 280. back to you. >> thank you, steve. >> time now is 7:27. the historic ruling came down moments ago. you saw it here on ktvu. the u.s. supreme court has upheld the key part of president obama's health care law. stay where you are. we will continue our live team

>> it is 7:30. as we've been reporting, the supreme court just handed down

its ruling on president obama's health care reform about 20 minutes ago. there was a lot of confusion following the courts ruling this morning. the court upheld the provision in the healthcare reform law that requires most americans to have health insurance by 2014. basically, the justices said that individual mandate is constitutional as a tax had initially been reported that they struck down that. we are expecting to hear from president obama very soon with his reaction. of course, this is considered a huge victory for president obama as he's in the middle of his campaigning for reelection. we also expect to hear from house speaker republican john boehner for his reaction to this. one more new bit of information. the ruling was a 5-4 vote with chief justice john roberts of siding with the four liberal judges, something not expected. again, more analysis on this and what this means for the bay area in

california coming up shortly. also this morning, in a 6-3 vote, the supreme court justices struck down a federal law which made it a crime to lie about having received a medal of honor and other military awards. the vote is in favor of hot air out our eyes. he's a former local elected official from southern california who falsely claimed he was a decorated war veteran. he pleaded guilty to violating the stolen valor act but the supreme court ordered the conviction against alvarez to be thrown out. >> time now is 7:32. president obama has said he will address the supreme court ruling on this healthcare reform law sometime this morning. in his campaign speeches, the president often refers to healthcare reform as one of their competence of his administration. and his republican challenger, mitt romney, has made opposition to the law. but that part of his campaign. we have not heard yet whether romney will make a statement about the high court ruling today. coming up at 7:45, how the

healthcare reform law will affect people here in california. >> it is 7:32. walnut creek police asking for the public's help in their search for a man who exposed himself to a teenage girl. here's a sketch that could lead to an arrest. good morning, tara. >> good morning. we are learning more information about this suspect. police say he was last seen wearing an orange construction paper vest and smoking cigarettes. neighbors we've talked to around here, many of whom did not want to appear on camera, tell us they were really shocked that such a brazen act could have been along this trail in broad daylight. over the past hour that we noticed police doing their patrols, police say the man exposed himself last monday afternoon as a 14-year- old girl walked along the trail. he repeatedly offered the girl drug and solicited sex. he apparently followed her to the parking lot where she was and that's where he flashed himself. authorities say that the man is

called the girl and exposed himself. police released the composite about 24 -- within the past 24 hours. he's described as latino, about 40 years old, to what opponents. he is a beer, medium dark complexion, and spoke english with a strong spanish accent. to give you an idea where the incident happened, we are off west cliff lane. it's adjacent to 680. we have put in a call to detectives and we will be hearing back from them shortly. hopefully, we'll pass along any information or updates they give us. live from one metric, ktvu channel 2 news. >> 734 clock. happening now, a power outage on the peninsula. pg&e crews trying to repair a water that is down and no break. this is pictures are gone from news chopper 2. the outage is affecting an area including parts of clearfield drive.

identified all of the homes that have been lost and they also want to make sure if they are able to get some one-on-one talks to the own orders -- to the homeowners before they find on the news whether or not they've lost their homes. we just received an update from the command center in terms of how the firefighter -- the firefighters going. the winds die down last night, so that helped them quite a bit. they are expecting to have a great day today. they are words. they are 5 percent containment right now, but they expect that number to jump to radically as the day goes on. so they are optimistic on how this fire fight is going to go. they are up to about 19,000 acres, however, in the colorado springs area. in addition to that, the air force academy experienced some damage. about 10 acres on their property. they've also evacuated much of the base. additionally, they expect about

justice said, because the constitution permits such a tax, it's not able to forbid it or to pass upon its bosom or fairness. the medicaid decision that also came down is a little more pop updated. in that decision, it came down to funding. the court basically saying you can expand medicaid but you cannot threaten to take away funding for states if they choose not to take part in the expansion. again, very conflicts decision. at the end of the day, considered a huge victory for the president and his administration. however, the president and his republican challenger starting to spin things their way. the president expected to speak shortly, but a campaign advisory already saying, obama may have his law that the gop has a cause. promising to galvanize what they are calling the largest tax increase in american history. dave? >> time is now 8:01. reaction pouring in over the supreme court ruling about

low clouds have increased as well. temperatures compound. they will still be warm inland. not as warm as yesterday. that could take areas another day. the trend is the system is going to deepen and move across on the weekends. saturday looks to be the main day for the coolest pattern. -- at a period was 12 at oakland. southwest at santa rosa. that is a cooler direction this time of year. also low 60s already, but editors today are out of the gate pretty fast for some. that seabreeze in place and that will conduct will pick up the sea breeze in the afternoon. we still have sunshine for many. still some fog hanging around. more of a westerly breeze. 60s, 70s, and 80s. temperatures really start to slide down friday, especially on saturday. there will be 70s well inland. sunday looks like a transition

day, and monday a little warmer. >> in the east they, gunshot victim has lost his right eye in that attack. use jabber to flying over the scene yesterday. this is at matteo street. the shooting happened after a violent confrontation between the gunman and the victim. police surrounded an apartment building searching for the gunman but he had already escaped. >> is in stable condition right now. he lost his right eye. his bone structure is fractured on the right-side of his face. >> ktvu obtained this exclusive video of a person of interest. moments after the shooting, the parking lots video shows a man talking to someone in a green mercedes suv and then running away. >> it is 8:09. busy morning for oakland police. officers investigating two separate shootings with a total of five victims.

>> low clouds this morning. temperatures cooler coasts and day. sunny, mild to warm inland, but some of the fog winning out. temperatures coming down. >> time now is 8:13.

the u.s. supreme court upheld president obama's healthcare reform law just about an hour or so ago. allison burns outside the supreme court building right now to try to explain what is a very complicated ruling. alison? >> reporter: we do have the ruling here. 193 pages. the white house tells us president obama will be making a statement about it sometime within the next couple hours. reaction from congress has been overwhelming. we are out here with a line of cameras where members of congress are coming out and giving their take on what has been a very surprising decision to many. of course, there was a very loud reaction closer to the court as well. supporters of the law are overjoyed that chief justice john roberts joins with four other justices to uphold the mandate that every american get health insurance or pay a penalty. critics of the law are furious. here's a little bit of what we've been hearing from both sides outside the court.

>> i think it was a victory for the american people, not for obama, not for politics but for the american people. >> the law is a tremendous infringement on the freedom of the united states citizens to choose their own healthcare. >> there was a lot of confusion initially with the way roberts worded his opinion. many congressional staffers and people outside the court thought that individual insurance mandate had been struck down. when the decision became clear, house speaker john boehner issued a statement immediately vowing to fight in congress to repeal the law. with just one house republicans have scheduled a vote for after the fourth of july holiday to repeal this law. the fight will be about the constitutionality, rather than merits of health reform, one tells me. the court ruled against the obama administration on the expansion of medicaid that forcing states to offer coverage to more people. we work this afternoon to get reaction from local members of

congress. it seems like everyone has scheduled a news conference. we will have that later today. live outside the u.s. supreme court building,. >> joining us once again, the constitutional law and supreme court expert, david levine. you've had a chance to look over that very sick ruling. at what's brewing standout? >> well, there's an awful lot of things that are interesting. of course, the headlines are mandated constitutional. it's the shifting majority. chief justice roberts except to what is really the third best argument of the administration, which was the tax argument. chief justice roberts was willing to accept the idea that the penalty, which is you have to have health insurance or pay a penalty to the irs. he was joined by the justice and the other liberals on that point. he did not accept the argument that the commerce clause was the way to go. that will have a lot of

ramifications going forward. we will be teaching from that for a long time. but the big headline is the mandated constitutional only because of the tax. >> i was going to ask, congress can still do something here. what can congress do? they don't have to just sit back. >> absolutely. congress can do a lot of things. congress could actually repeal this. we've heard the speaker say he would like to move to repeal healthcare. that's perfectly permissible. there's nothing required about healthcare. they could modify some of this. they could change the tax. that could change the terms of the state. there are all sorts of thing that could be done. a lot of that has to do with what happens in the fall. i think what is likely now it is even if the house votes to repeal healthcare, it's not going anywhere in the senate and we can be quite sure that president obama would veto anything that would come. so it's all about november. what was interesting to me is that not anyone but in two places, at the beginning and at the end,

he was very careful to say that we are not talking about the wisdom of this healthcare. at the end, he says it's up to people. in other words, go out and vote. >> so that people should decide. obviously, depending which way he would vote, it would depend whether the future of health care whether it stands or not. >> that's right. most of us will not kick in until 2014. there would be time for congress to change things if they decided that what was done a couple years ago was the wrong way to go. until we get the election in november, we won't know. so the stakes are higher than ever. >> absolutely. so the minority, basically, said that they felt the tax cost was unconstitutional. there was the opponents arguing that the federal government could compel people to hide -- to buy health insurance, they could compel them to buy anything with broccoli being the example. >> here is why we are safe from broccoli. chief justice roberts said something, which really

summarizes it nicely. he looked at the text of the constitution. the text of the constitution gives congress the power to regulate commerce. he focused on that word regulate. the way he interpreted that was to say that what that means is you have to presuppose existing commercial activity. you cannot force people to gauge in commercial activities. once they engage in commercial activity, it would be acceptable for congress to use its power to regulate it. so we are safe if you go start buying broccoli. then maybe you are regulated. if you choose to stay out of it, you're home free. the justice had four votes saying it was acceptable. as chief justice roberts says no to the commerce clause, that creates the shifting majority. so we have five saying it exceeds

the commerce power, and that potentially has ramifications down the line in terms of what congress can do in other areas. a yes to the taxing power. >> so now the supreme court takes a break for three months. they disappear and let everyone else figure this out. >> they've got their airplane tickets. they will be enjoying different places. everybody else can take over for a while. >> next year they got some big issues coming up including affirmative action and same-sex marriage. >> that will be another big term starting in the big fall. >> never a dull moment. >> it is a 20th. go to ktvu.com for more information. just go to the health-care tab on the front page. >> time now is a 20th up. advocates for airline passengers rates about to make some records on how to improve air travel. they will testify in front of a new federal advisory board today. recommendations include

reimbursing passengers when flights are delayed or canceled, bumbling ticket prices with other fees, and also alerting travelers about competition with luggage is lost. american airlines and the union that represents its pilots may have reached tentative agreements on a new contract. union is sending the airline's final contract offer to the pilots for a vote. if the pilots approve the deal, the airline cannot ask a bankruptcy court to throw out its union agreement and impose tougher measures. a rabbit -- ratification by the pilots would end years of bitter contract negotiations and also give airlines some labor stability as it goes through bankruptcy proceedings. >> a 21:00. as you were talking, we got word coming down that republican presidential candidate mitt romney will be holding a press conference on the supreme court health care rulings at 8:45, about an half hour. president obama has scheduled a press conference at 9:15. as we said, a lot of people will give their opinions on this ruling.

meanwhile, coming up, residents in an oakland neighborhood say a wave of foreclosures is destroying their neighborhood. we will tell you how they take action. >> also, we are tracking your weather. we see a slight cool down on the way for parts of the bay area. steve is coming back with your forecast. >> if you are looking at 101 in san jose anytime soon, i'd say it's a decent drive getting up into the valley.

>> is a 24:00. protesters say thanks for closing on homes are destroying their neighborhoods. some of them focused on a fatal house fire or you are this week. neighbors say the men who lived in the house didn't have any utilities and were using candles for light switch may have caused the fire. one of them died, a second remains hospitalized. people live in the maxwell park neighborhood say they are worried about other nearby empty houses. >> i have an empty house next to me. i have an empty house across the street from me. i have an empty house three doors down. >> some of the homeowners say those empty houses are vulnerable to other squatters moving in, and they blamed the banks of saying homeowners would still be living there if they had been granted loan modifications. >> time now is a 25:00. let's get you to where you need to go. we have the commute. >> i would say today it's better than it has been.

i will show you some things that are little better than others. first of all, let's look at 280. that's still a little slow driving around the corner of two highway 17 and beyond that. you will see some slow traffic. also this morning, we seems low traffic in contra costa county, although it's improving quite a bit in the construction area. a little bit of slow traffic from pleasant hill down to walnut creek. if you are driving on 80, a little bit of slow traffic getting into berkeley. and then at the toll plaza, that is late. got a big commute. it's going to be a little slow but once you make it onto the bridge, its moderate into this today. let's go to steve. >> thank you. a little more low cloud deck today. it increases over the next couple days. the seabreeze has picked up, but it will still be sunny. the culture at getting closer. it's already pushing some fog and edit it increases that tonight into

tomorrow. that tells you everything you need to know. so 50s and 60s. some inland temps warm up pretty fast. i think by this afternoon that seabreeze will take the edge off some of the london times. still in the 80s for some, but 50s and 60s parts of the coast. falk and n breezy. still for some it will be very toasty, for others i think you noticed temperatures dropping. we continued that theme on friday and saturday and probably sunday is the transition day. monday looks a little water. >> time now is 8:27. a history making day for the u.s. supreme court. in the last hour, the high court ruled on president obama's healthcare overhaul. we will continue live team coverage. >> we are live in walnut creek where police have released a sketch of a child predator. what he was wearing that could help police find him. >> also, today will be a smoky morning in parts of santa clara county. we will tell you why.

>> welcome back. time now is 8:29. as we've been telling you, the u.s. supreme court just handed down its ruling on president obama's healthcare reform law. a little after 7:00 is when. there's been some confusion after the court's ruling. the supreme court upheld a provision in the health-care reform law that requires most americans to help health insurance by 2014. basically, the court said that the individual mandate is constitutional as a tax. the ruling was a 5-4 vote with chief justice john roberts

sided with the four liberal judges. also this morning, the supreme court justices struck down the stolen valor act in a 6-3 vote. the federal law makes it a crime to lie about having received the medal of honor in other military awards. this is a victory for xavier alvarez. he's a former elected official from california who also complained -- who falsely claimed he was a decorated war veteran. he pleaded guilty to violating the law but the supreme court threw out that conviction. >> we now know that republican presidential candidate mitt romney is going to get his reaction to the supreme court ruling on healthcare reform at 8:45 this morning. we will carry that live. we will also carry president obama's reaction life when that is given at 9:15 this morning. the supreme court ruling is considered a major victory for president obama in his campaign speeches, president obama often refers to healthcare reform as

one of the big publishers of his administration. mitt romney has made opposition to the law, an important part of his campaign platform. the army has out to repeal the law if he is -- a romney has pout -- repeal the law. how the healthcare reform act will impact people here in california. >> police in walnut creek want your help is running. they are searching for a man who exposed himself to a teenaged girl. we have the police sketch that the police hope will lead to an arrest. >> we are learning more information about this suspect. he offered drugs and repeatedly solicited sex from a 14-year- old girl. he was, apparently, wearing an orange construction type fast as smoking cigarettes. police are really hoping that those descriptions, very distinct, will help the public lead them to him. we noticed police doing patrols this morning in the neighborhood where the incident happened.

authorities say last monday afternoon around 1:30, the girl was walking home along the iron horse trail. he apparently followed her to the parking lot where she lived. that's where he exposed himself. authorities released the sketch of the suspect within the past 24 hours. he is described as latino, about 40 years old, 200 pounds. he has a beer, medium dark complexion, and spoke english with a strong spanish accent. to give you an idea of exactltl where the event happened, it happened off westcliffe lane where i am horse trail runs along the street. it runs parallel. it's adjacent to interstate 680. if you recognize the man and a composite sketch, you are urged to contact the walnut creek police department. ktvu channel 2 news. >> is 833 clock. having now, people living in santa clara county may see some smoke in the house. they will begin a so-called

prescribed burn at grant ranch county park. that's an area about 8 miles east of san jose. firefighters will be intentionally setting off small fires to reduce the threat of a huge distractive fire. commanders say this morning's weather conditions are just right for the big operations. >> today is actually a really good burn window due to the marine influence. we've got high relative humidity. >> final preparations are underway, and the prescribed burn is expected to begin in about 45 minutes. around 915 about this. . also this morning, firefighters look into the cause of a brush fire that threatened homes. the fire broke out around 1:40 yesterday afternoon near highway 29 north of calistoga. about 5 acres burned but no homes were damaged. no flare up sore porta overnight. >> time is now 834 p-papa. people evacuated from those wildfires in colorado springs are

being told they may not have a home to go back to. the city's mayor says hundreds of homes have been destroyed but we don't know the exact number. that will be known until later on today. the fire is myers -- is miles away from the bay area, however, the new fire operations division chief is watching this very closely. he used to be in charge of the colorado springs fire department. >> i've got family and friends. my stepson is one of the firefighters there. he was there overnight. it's really tough. very tough. >> about 32,000 people have been evacuated from their homes as well as parts of the air force academy. investigators say it's too dangerous to start tracking down the cause. tomorrow president obama will fly to the area just to thank the firefighters and also to see firsthand the damage. firefighters also battling wildfires in utah. look at these pictures. hot weather, high winds making it really tough for firefighters.

several communities have been placed under mandatory evacuations. more than a dozen buildings have been destroyed. at least one death is blamed on the fire. >> it 35:00. governor brown signed a budget last night that his office as close as a $15.7 billion budget deficit. but the budget relies on voters approving his proposed tax hikes in november which would temporarily increase the state sales tax by a quarter cent and raise income taxes on californians who make more than $250,000 a year. the governor says the budget will increase education funding by 14 percent for k-12 and community colleges if his tax plan passes. but if it fails, there will be $6 billion in trade it -- and sugar cuts in education and social services. the budget cuts data boycott the session costs by 5 percent for a savings of $800 million and implements welfare reform and other changes to healthcare insurance

for low income children. >> it 36:00. on the report says beach pollution is at its third -- its third highest level in more than two decades. the report finds a number of days that american beaches were closed or had advisories because of contaminated water bridged the third highest level in 22 years. california had a slight increase in beach closures and advisories last year. the uc berkeley scientist is now installing dozens of carbon dioxide sensors in oakland. it will measure carbon dioxide levels in real-time. about 40 of those sensors will be installed by the end of summer. a lot of them will be placed in public schools so students can help study the information. researchers say the sensors will help measure the effectiveness of those programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. >> 8:37. we want to check in with sal. we've just got word of a crash.
